a great informative site regarding how much plastic and paper we use on a daily basis. Use your favorite cup daily instead of getting a paper cup everytime you go to the coffee stire.

I really believe in reuseable products. We cloth diaper. Look up how much room disposables take in landfills, it's staggering.

We use these to grocery shop...

Oh, and I do use the paper cups, but buy these for all my coffee drinking friends...

I think China taxed the living bejeezum out of wooden chopsticks so the People would use plastic ones over and over. Maybe it was Japan.

How about these chopsticks?
"45 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks every year, cutting down as many as 25 million trees in the process, according to government statistics." That is in China, alone.

That's insane.

I wonder what the reasoning is for using wooden chopsticks. Just societal norm?
